IVC Grad Kristine Chai Makes a Real World Impact

Kristine Chai

Recent Irvine Valley College (IVC) honors graduate Kristine Chai is already making a mark in the rapidly advancing field of biotechnology.

Following high school graduation, Kristine was certain she wanted to study science, so  IVC’s well regarded biotechnology program was a natural choice. Now, she has graduated with top honors and been accepted to her three first choice schools – UC Los  Angeles, UC Berkeley and UC Irvine (UCI) – and is leaning towards UCI. 

From the Desk of The President

As we approach the holiday season, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible year we’ve shared. Together, we have embraced challenges, celebrated achievements, and strengthened the bonds that make IVC such a vibrant and inclusive community. Your dedication—whether in classrooms, offices, or virtual spaces—has been the foundation of our success.

Model UN Team

Irvine Valley College’s (IVC) award-winning Model United Nations (MUN) team achieved national recognition at the National Model United Nations Conference in Washington, D.C., held November 5–9. Competing among top universities and colleges from around the world, IVC students earned an impressive collection of honors — including two Outstanding Delegation Awards, two Position Paper Awards, and the rare distinction of chairing three committees.

IVC at ATEP

Advanced Technology and Education Park (ATEP) is located at the former Marine Corps Air Station, Tustin. This location is a satellite campus for IVC and the home for the School of Integrated Design, Engineering and Automation (IDEA).

From the Desk of The President

This fall, Irvine Valley College proudly concluded a yearlong celebration marking four decades of educational excellence, innovation, and community impact. As we celebrated Founder’s Day on October 22, we took time to reflect not only on our humble beginnings but also on the remarkable journey that has shaped IVC into one of California’s premier community colleges.
